#15916: if there are no docstrings, make empty suite, not an error.
This makes doctest work like unittest: if the test case is empty, that just means there are zero tests run, it's not an error. The existing behavior was broken, since it only gave an error if there were *no* docstrings, and zero tests run if there were docstrings but none of them contained tests. So this makes it self-consistent as well. Patch by Glenn Jones.
